Deemed deviant, because it is a bad choice and there are serious repercussions. Drinking and driving rates shrink as distance from party and house is closer. War on drugs, caffeine and alcohol and tobacco do way more damage than street drugs. Corporate crime, automobile industries where they know there"s a problem but can still get away with selling the car. Bullying: been around for a while, parents can be bullies and exploits, or teachers that create hostile environments, or even police officers can be. Bluer (1971) social problems as collective behaviour . Objectivism, meaning of something is what we decided. Look at it as a collective behaviour, something goes from nothing to being deviant as it is labelled. No longer assume deviance is objective, it is a product of collective behaviour. Quote on courselink ** (spector and kitsuse 1977), only reason its deviant, is because we decide it. Claims-makers: those who make claims about a condition/event or person.
